The King of Fighters '96 - *** by SNK
Saturn  |  Jap  |   2 Players   |   Fighting
NOTE: requires the 1 MEG RAM cartridge (HSS-0150) (NOT INCLUDED).

Utterly flawless conversion of KOF '96: running side-by-side with the Neo Geo AES cartridge, the only thing the Saturn version gives away is the loading screen & slightly muffled sound samples. Even Neo-Geo zealots had to acknowledge how damn close this came to being perfect, which is a testament to it's quality. With it's monster roster of 29 characters it's gonna take a while to master. Then there's the Team-Edit option which extends the life of the game even further.

The only people who are likely to be disappointed at first will be those who mastered one of the 4 characters in '95 who have been replaced in KOF '96 but then again I'd rather play with Leona, than her '95 equivalent, Heidern, so in most cases it works out for the better.

Great story & plot development, the new characters make an impact and the soundtrack totally kicks ass. This IS hardcore, make no mistake!

Overall good condition but see pictures for full details: ACTUAL ITEM PICTURED. Note that we only ever crop our photos. We never enhance/retouch them!
